Hey man, Just wanted to say well done on explaining this knot. I CAN now tie it!

[@eddienorris7067]

Excellent step by step tutorial on how to tie a Palomar knot and its uses.

[@TheBearEssentials]

Thanks Eddie!

[@jamesromanoski7292]

Fantastic knot! Thanks. I love the use with a lantern

[@TheBearEssentials]

Awesome! Ya it’s a little tough to get out, and tying a Carribeaner and then lantern might be better for that case. But I just wanted to spark some thought on possible options.

[@rainydaylady6596]

​@@TheBearEssentials Lantern, spark. 😏

[@HiroKazuyuki]

You're videos are very satisfying and your voice is relaxing

[@TheBearEssentials]

Thanks so much for saying this :)

[@ShockedSquirrelhere]

This is so so useful! I’m actually going to integrate it into my jewelry and crochet as well! It’s incredibly frustrating to get halfway through a project to find i have to undo it all to attach something i forgot!!!

[@TheBearEssentials]

Whoa i never thought about that application. Thanks a bunch for sharing that!!

[@switchofftogettagrip1400]

Love how you explain the knot as your going, this will make it much easier to help me teach myself, then teach my wife :) cheers, already subscribed, will defo give it a thumbs up and add it to my growing fishing video collection! Also short and sweet, nothing to complicated!

[@TheBearEssentials]

Thanks a bunch!! Glad you liked my style. And thx for taking the time to comment. Tight lines out there!

[@ecospider5]

I use the figure 8 knot for almost everything. With slight variations. I think this might be my second favorite knot. I will have to try it in a couple situations. Under tension I have a feeling it might bind.

[@TheBearEssentials]

Yeah it binds under tension with thin lines - for the thicker 10mm rope it didnt seem to

[@onemancarnage]

First fishing knot I learned . Now everyone has a favorite. Mine is the Duncan loop knot . If I'm using certain lures or fishing for large fish , I ad a second wrap around hook or lure . I like it because it keeps everything in a straight line . Anyhow , I love the videos , I've forgotten so many Knott's from boyscouts lol. Great resource ! Thank you .

This dude has a PhD in Knotology.

[@cvsmixclvdzz2073]

Lol yeah ok

[@zhihonghuang5203]

I'm so lazy - I have a PhD in NOTology - without the PhD.

[@JacquiSinclairNZ]

The best Knot teaching I have found, as a new knot enthusiast. Thanks DJ

[@Chapster2]

Knot enthusiast? That’s a thing?

[@JacquiSinclairNZ]

@@Chapster2 oh yeah!

[@mtkoslowski]

My personal all time favorite strong knot is the Whip-Finish-Hook-Snell. Simple yet very strong.

[@TheBearEssentials]

I'll check this out! thx

[@tazbatik6537]

Great video

[@TheBearEssentials]

Glad you enjoyed it

I absolutely love your videos, I learned a lot of knots that I use during sailing. However, I couldn't find the right knot for a specific solution, so I hope you might be able to help. I have a dinghy that I usually pull with the boat. I use a very long rope (30m) to do that and I don't know which knot I should use to tie it to the rails while I'm on the move. Is there a solution for that other than cutting the rope?

[@TheBearEssentials]

Sure I can help - and I’m sure someone form the community here might want to chime in too. Am I understanding this correctly, you need a knot that is attached from your boat rails at the side, to hold the dinghy when your not towing it - and you want to utilize your 30ft rope for this without having to cut it ?

[@borsitsb]

@@TheBearEssentials Thanks, I appreciate your help. :) Let me rephrase as I wasn't clear enough, apology. I have a 100 ft long rope (I used metric in my previous comment) attached to the dinghy which is way longer than I need. I don't want to shorten the rope as it's a general-purpose one I use to handle e.g. emergency situations. The sailing ship is moving, and I hold the rope in my hands. I want to attach the dinghy to the rails at the side or the stern so I don't need to hold it in my hands. As the ship is on the move, the dinghy pulls back with some force, making tying any knot harder. Do you know if there is any knot I can use in this situation? I'm happy to do a quick drawing if that helps to better understand the problem.

@@borsitsb Is this any use? kzbin.info/www/bejne/paubl36wq7OSi7c Same knot kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6m1Znt4esZqbNk

[@TheBearEssentials]

@@borsitsb Yes, I am making a video on the perfect knot for you now. A Rolling Hitch has the ability to anchor to your tow rope from your main ship, and relieve all the pressure from you holding it. I should have this video up next week, but in the meantime you can google that term "Rolling Hitch" if you havent already known and tried this knot. It's very similar to the Midshipmans hitch or taut-line, but used mainly for in line ropes or to relieve pressure from a tightened rope.

[@borsitsb]

@@TheBearEssentials Thank you. I appreciate help :)

[@snappycattimesten]

I want to remove my midline knot to access my lamp, how to I undone it? Actually the “undo” should be part of every knot video. Thanks.

[@TheBearEssentials]

You’re right, I completely forgot about this step. You sit reverse the process, OR undo one end from the tree and reverse it back.

[@MelissaChapin]

I don’t know why I didn’t learn more midline knots the first time round. Thank you DJ for filling in the gaps! 🪢

[@TheBearEssentials]

Thx Melissa!! Im glad it provided a bit of inspo

[@jay8353]

Awesome brother cheers for that

[@TheBearEssentials]

No problem 👍 thx for watching

[@danielslocum7316]

Always use Berkley because it is always a good line. Never has failed me. Also, made in the USA which is important to me.

[@Shadow_Wraith]

I've used the 5 turn water knot for my fishing hooks for decades without a single failure, ever.

[@jeffreyklaumenzer7950]

My dad is trying to teach me this knot but I'm having trouble due to dexterity and keeping track of the line

[@forendetta8164]

Woww thank for video 😉

[@TheBearEssentials]

Np!

[@rainydaylady6596]

How do my necklaces tie themselves into this knot on their own in my jewelry box? 😀🖖💕.

[@TheBearEssentials]

hahah! same thing happens with my charging cables

[@mrz6462]

FYI: That kerosene lantern will burn through that mid-line knot in a matter of minutes, better to use a wire drop of at least 8"....Jus Say'n........

[@liammurray9274]

any source for the 95% claim?

[@flyovercounty1427]

Subscribed due to the great content and pleasant lack of “intros”, click bait, blah blah blah, and bullshit.

[@brianholding4357]

👍🏻

[@jboylightning145]

definitely not the 'world's strongest knot'. It gets beat every time by the top knots on knot wars.

[@anonumpje3602]

First

[@zippitydoodah5693]

It is not pronounced "polymer". It is pronounced pal - oh - mar ( like bar )

[@liversinthefridge]

The fact that you use cuts in the footage when showing how to tie the knot genuinely makes it impossible for me to follow what’s going on :( Do it in one take next time please!

[@GerryFolf]

Не красиво.
